# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Take it out of the oven, give it a couple minutes to cool a bit, throw on any toppings you like, and dig in while it's hot.
02 -
Slide the skillet into your hot oven and let it hang out for 10 to 12 minutes — you want the cheese totally melted and bubbly.
03 -
Sprinkle those crushed chips all over the top, then pile on the rest of your cheese.
04 -
Take your skillet off the burner, toss in a cup of Mexican cheese, and mix until it melts right in.
05 -
Toss the taco seasoning, Rotel with chilies, beans, corn, and salsa into the pan. Stir everything together, then let it gently bubble for around five minutes.
06 -
Get a big oven-friendly skillet heated on medium. Toss in your onion and ground meat. Keep stirring until the meat's nice and browned, then drain any extra grease.
07 -
Turn your oven on to 375°F (190°C) and let it get hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Try a cast iron skillet to bake this evenly and make moving from stove to oven super simple.
02 -
Switching to turkey instead of beef makes things lighter if you want.
